Résumé
While tensions in the South China Sea and the Burmese crisis are present in Southeast Asian news, few media outlets talk about the rivalry between major powers gradually taking hold in the Mekong River basin region. This continental Southeast Asian region comprises six countries, five of which are part of ASEAN (Myanmar, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam), and link China, the sixth, to the warm seas. In recent years, the Mekong Basin has become a strategic region where China and the United States are engaged in a muted but very real struggle. This chapter presents this confrontation from two complementary and intertwined angles. The first part looks at the interplay of institutions established by China and the United States to manage the resources of the Mekong River, while the second part describes the rivalries between the two great powers in the area of development corridors and infrastructure.
